Further to the
implementation of the 2007-2010 Environmental Strategic Plan, Inditex has set
the new environmental plan of the Group for the next five years, known as:
‘Sustainable Inditex 2011-2015’. This new plan aims at extending, consolidating
and increasing 2007-2010 Strategic Plan, enabling Inditex to meet the goals of
reducing CO2 emissions by 10% in 2015 and by 20 % in 2020, as compared to 2005.
To reach such target, the plan will have an impact on the value
chain, for the purposes of reducing the global ecological footprints of the
Group by implementing six action lines:
1.- New stores
Building sustainable and environment-friendly stores: by resorting
to cutting edge technology in energy management and saving, and by reducing CO2
emissions.
2.- Existing stores
Redesigning the existing stores: by improving the technologies
used and by optimizing their environmental management for the purposes of
reducing CO2 emissions.
3.- Logistics
Optimizing routes; using state of the art efficient vehicles;
insisting on the reduction of packages and training drivers to reduce
consumption of fossil fuels.
4. - Employees
Training all the
employees and raising their awareness regarding the global environment issue
and the specific implications at their workplace.
5.- Products
Promoting the consideration of eco-friendly alternatives in the
development of new products and ancillay materials.
6.- Water
Promote a more efficient water consumption at own manufacturing
centers, stores and throughout the supply chain.
7. - Environment and
nature
Preserving nature with
a double goal:
A) Promoting sustainable management of biodiversity,
fostering values-based education, focused on knowing, respecting, improving and
preserving ecosystems.
B) Collaborating
in the compensation of CO2 emissions caused by the activity of the Inditex
Group.
